Our Differentiators

Why choose Goldwater over other mobility advisors? Here’s what makes us distinct

Regulatory Precision

USCIS compliance, RBI/LRS compatibility and clean jurisdictional structuring are built into every investment.

Capital Safety First

This is your hard-earned capital. From our own backgrounds, we know loss hurts more than gain feels good. Capital preservation is our baseline, not a bonus.

Investor Alignment

We operate with full transparency and fiduciary intent. Referral fees—if any—are disclosed upfront and never influence what we recommend. No hidden incentives.

Diligence Over Marketing

Marketing materials aren't diligence. Every project is independently evaluated through our framework.

Not just compliance. PE-grade, forensic scrutiny

Why Our Diligence Is Different

At Goldwater, every EB-5 project is vetted with the same lens a private equity fund would apply to a deal: Cash flows, downside protection, sponsor alignment, and regulatory defensibility.

Our team includes CFA, FRM, & CA professionals who've underwritten $3B+ in global real estate and infrastructure. We treat your EB-5 investment like it's coming from our own family office.

"We were taught to follow the cashflows,
not just the claims"

That old-school instinct, passed down through generations of Indian business families, powers how we evaluate risk.

We rigorously vet each opportunity with forensic precision

Our CLEAR™ Framework

C – Capital Stack Soundness

We assess sponsor equity, debt structure, subordination, covenants, and IRR assumptions.
Put options, exit rights, and downside protections are reviewed line by line.

L – Legal Track Record

We screen for I-526/I-829 approvals, job creation buffers, redeployment protocols, and USCIS interaction history. Every project must demonstrate USCIS compliance, clean audit history, and credible delivery on job creation.

E – Exit Visibility

We focus on capital return, not just access.We underwrite real exit levers — sale, refi, or yield — and validate sponsor’s past repayment performance and contractual clarity.

A – Alignment of Interests

We look for meaningful sponsor co-investment, transparent fees, and investor-favorable waterfalls. If the sponsor benefits before the investor exits — it fails.

R – Regulatory Compatibility

Every structure is built for Indian-origin families.FEMA and LRS compliance, source of funds defensibility, and audit-ready flows — reviewed on both sides of the border.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clarity for Indian Founders, Families, and Professionals Exploring U.S. Residency via Capital

What is the minimum EB-5 investment amount?

$800,000 USD for projects in Targeted Employment Areas (TEA) — rural or high-unemployment zones
$1,050,000 USD for all other projects

What qualifies as a TEA or Rural project?

Rural: Outside metropolitan areas, population <20,000
High-Unemployment: Areas with ≥1.5x national unemployment rate
These projects benefit from lower investment thresholds, priority processing, and visa set-asides.

What's the difference between Direct and Regional Center EB-5?

Direct: You actively manage the business and create 10+ direct jobs
Regional Center: Passive investment; job creation can be indirect or induced
Goldwater works exclusively with vetted Regional Center projects for risk-managed, passive residency pathways.

What does "at-risk" investment mean?

USCIS requires EB-5 capital to be subject to potential gain or loss. While capital cannot be guaranteed, Goldwater ensures projects are structured with controlled risk, clear exit strategies, and immigration alignment.

Is ROI guaranteed?

No. EB-5 is a residency-first pathway. Typical returns range from 0.25%–2% annually in debt models. Higher ROI often means higher immigration risk.

When do I get my capital back?

Most EB-5 projects target a capital return timeline of 5–7 years, subject to exit terms and I-829 approval.

What sources of capital are accepted by USCIS?

Salary income
Business profits
Sale of real estate or shares
Gifts and inheritances
Personal loans
Retirement savings (e.g. 401k)
Cryptocurrency, with proper documentation

Are gifts and loans allowed?

Yes. Gifts must include donor's SOF proof
Loans must not be secured by the EB-5 project and must show repayment ability

Can I use cryptocurrency?

Yes, with clear proof of wallet ownership, conversion to fiat, and tax compliance. USCIS will scrutinize crypto-based SOF closely.

What's the most common reason for petition denial?

Poor documentation of lawful source of funds. Keep it simple, traceable, and fully documented.

Who in my family is covered by a single EB-5 investment?

Your spouse
Your unmarried children under 21 (including adopted children)

How is my child's age calculated?

Under the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA):
Age at visa availability – I-526E processing time = Effective age
This helps prevent "aging out" due to USCIS delays.

Can I include my parents or siblings?

No. EB-5 coverage is limited to the investor's spouse and children under 21

Can my child apply as the principal investor?

Yes, if 18+ and legally gifted the funds. This is often used for U.S.-bound college students.

What is a Regional Center?

A USCIS-authorized entity that pools investor funds into job-creating projects and allows indirect job creation. Goldwater works exclusively with high-integrity Regional Centers.

What is the EB-5 priority date?

The official I-526E receipt date. It determines your place in the visa queue — important during periods of backlog.

What are Chart A and Chart B in the Visa Bulletin?

Chart A (Final Action): When USCIS can issue Green Cards
Chart B (Dates for Filing): When USCIS can accept supporting documents
We monitor both to guide optimal filing strategy.

Do I need to attend a visa interview?

If applying from outside the U.S.: Yes, at the local U.S. consulate
If applying from within the U.S. (concurrent filing): Typically no interview required

Can I live and work anywhere in the U.S.?

Yes. A Green Card offers complete freedom to live, work, and study anywhere in the country.

Will my child qualify for in-state university tuition?

Yes. Green Card holders are eligible for in-state tuition and public aid after 1 year of U.S. residency.

Can I travel outside the U.S. after obtaining my Green Card?

Yes — but absences over 6 months may require explanation. For long-term travel (>12 months), a Re-entry Permit is recommended.

Can I apply for U.S. citizenship later?

Yes. After 5 years of permanent residency (including conditional status), you can apply for naturalization.

Will I get my money back if my petition is denied?

It depends on the project's subscription agreement. Some offer refunds upon denial, others may require appeal exhaustion. Goldwater negotiates these terms upfront to protect your interests.
